OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF BLUE PHOSPHORENE CONSIDERING MANY-BODY EFFECTS

Juan Jose Nava (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

"The electronic band structure of blue phosphorene was obtained by using Density Functional Theory within the Generalized Gradient Approximation. It is observed, based on its band structure, that blue phosphorene shows a semiconducting nature, with an indirect band gap. The energy corrections to the bands were calculated in a specific set of k points within the irreducible Brillouin zone by employing the GW approximation and the complete quasiparticle band structure was determined by using maximally-localized Wannier functions. The excitonic spectrum is obtained and compared with both the independent-particle and GW optical response."

Intimate partner violence and its relationship to labor income

Yei Javier Zepeda Hernández Alma Sofia Santillan (2024, [Artículo, Artículo])

In Mexico, 70.1% of women have been victims of violence in their lifetime and the main perpetrator is her intimate partner. Gender violence is a public health problem that has multiple negative impacts in woman and their offsprings. The relation violence and income is an issue that has been scarcely studied for Mexico. The objective of this article is to analyze the intimate partner violence and its relationship to labor income for Mexican women, data used are from the National Survey on the Dynamics of Households Relationships (ENDIREH 2021). The principal component method is used to estimate five kinds of violence; physical, emotional, economic, sexual and, harassment. The instrumental variables method is used to consider the endogeneity of income and violence variables. Except harassment, the results indicate a negative relationship between income and violence. Specifically, sexual violence has the greatest negative effects; women who are victims of sexual violence have an average reduction of 17.4% in monthly labor income. This negative effect represents a loss of just over two month of working days per year and, in the aggregate terms, is equivalent to 0.87% of GDP. The above highlights the importance of orienting public policy actions to work in prevention, attention, punishment and eradications any kind of violence against women.

Economic inequality and the impact of cash transfers in the state of Veracruz, México, 2008 to 2020

José Alejandro Pérez-Nájera Rogelio Javier Rendón Hernández (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Income inequality in Mexico is extremely high and the federal states are considerably heterogeneous, which is why a regional analysis allows us to identify the fundamental characteristics, trends, and regional conditions for the implementation of redistributive policies.  We used microdata from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) to analyze the evolution of income inequality in the state of Veracruz during the 2008-2020 period; To identify its sources and investigate how it was affected by monetary transfers, the income decomposition method is used to identify the ENIGH income sources and investigate preliminary COVID-19 effects. The results show evidence of a decrease in inequality in the period; relatively and marginally, it is identified that the observed decrease can be attributed to cash transfers. In recent years, transfers represented 30% of the income of the lowest deciles (I, II, and III) and the income elasticity of the Gini coefficient indicates that their increase represents a decrease in inequality.

Evaluación de la primera madurez sexual del huachinango del Pacífico (Lutjanus peru) nacido en cautiverio

First sexual maturity evaluation of the Pacific red snapper (Lutjanus peru) born in captivity

MILTON ALEJANDRO SPANOPOULOS ZARCO José Antonio Estrada Godínez JUAN CARLOS PEREZ URBIOLA VICENTE GRACIA LOPEZ Felipe de Jesús Ascencio Valle Manuel Carrillo Marcos Fabian Quiñones Arreola MINERVA CONCEPCION MALDONADO GARCIA (2016, [Artículo])

"El huachinango del Pacífico, Lutjanus peru, es una especie atractiva para la acuicultura. Sin embargo, su reproducción en cautiverio en condiciones controladas no había sido factible, debido a la falta de conocimiento sobre las condiciones de manejo y el proceso reproductivo. En este estudio se evaluó la primera madurez sexual en cautiverio del huachinango del Pacífico, nacidos en el 2009 en el CIBNOR. La primera madurez sexual se determinó a los cuatro años de edad, con un peso promedio de 2.829 ± 80,9 g y longitud promedio de 540,3 ± 4,6 mm. Los primeros desoves ocurrieron en junio 2013, con la sincronización reproductiva entre machos y hembras en cautiverio, que coincidió cuando el fotoperiodo fue de 13 h luz y 11 h de obscuridad, con un aumento de temperatura del agua del estanque de 24,81 ± 1,4°C. El desove terminó en diciembre, con una disminución de temperatura 21,2 ± 1,5°C y 10 h luz. Se determinó la proporción sexual de 1:3,2 (hembra: macho). El tamaño de los huevos y la gota lipídica, disminuyeron conforme avanzó la temporada reproductiva..Se evaluó el nivel hormonal (estradiol, testosterona y 11-keto-testosterona) durante tres años. En cautiverio se determinó un ciclo reproductivo definido, en dos periodos; un periodo de reposo de diciembre a mayo, y un periodo reproductivo de junio a noviembre."

"The Pacific red snapper Lutjanus peru, is an attractive species for aquaculture. Its reproduction in captivity under controlled conditions has not been feasible, due to the lack of knowledge on its basic reproductive biology and management conditions. For the first time, we evaluated the first sexual maturity stage of captive Pacific red snapper, born in 2009 at CIBNOR. The first sexual maturity was reached in four years with an average weight of 2,829 ± 80.9 g and average size of 540.3 ± 4.6 mm. Spawning occurred in June 2013, with a reproductive synchronization between males and females, which coincides with a photoperiod of 13 h of light and 11 h of darkness, an increase in the water ponds temperature to 24.81 ± 1.4°C. The final spawning occurred in December with a decrement of the water ponds temperature to 21.2 ± 1.5°C and 10 h light. The sex ratio was determined as 1:3.2 (female: male). The size of eggs and lipid drop decreased as the spawning season progressed. Hormone levels (estradiol, testosterone and 11-keto-testosterone), was evaluated for three years. We determined a defined reproductive cycle for the species in captivity in two periods: 1) a rest period, from December to May, and 2) a reproductive period from June to November."
